IMPORTING
VIOLENCE:
How mass immigration is bringing violent crime
to your community

May 2005

Help
CCN Stop Amnesty-Driven Surge In Illegal Immigrant Crime[Ed. Note: Most immigrants are law-abiding (except of course
those who violated the law by coming and staying here illegally),
but several of the cultures from which immigrants come condone
or tolerate culturally sanctioned violence of a sort that
would never be tolerated by traditional American society or
values. Since stopping such culturally sanctioned practices
is very difficult, the only solution lies in a combination
of publicity and, ultimately, stopping mass immigration]

Culture
is just one determinant of individual behavior  and is never
predictive of any particular behavior or particular person's behavior.
Nevertheless, violence characterizes some of the diverse cultures
that are increasingly represented in the United States.

Tolerance
of violence toward animals is one cultural manifestation
that is alien to most Americans.

Importing
Third World Cruelty

"The horses plunge headfirst into the ground or somersault
onto their heads. Many end up with broken necks, legs and
other severe injuries. It is a death sentence. This is a part
of the cultural diversity being imported into
America. - Frosty Wooldridge, Immigrations
Third World Cruelty to Animals

Many
of the immigrants pouring into the U.S. come from Third World
countries and cultures where attitudes toward animals are vastly
different from those of most Americans. Countries where the most
basic laws against animal cruelty are non-existent. Cultures,
in fact, that are not only indifferent to animal suffering, but
where sadistic forms of animal cruelty are celebrated as sport.

Horse-tripping

Horse-tripping
is the practice of roping the front or hind legs of a galloping
horse, causing the animal to trip and come crashing to the
ground, for purposes of "entertainment."
The event is part of the charreada, or Mexican- style
rodeo.

Most
of the horses used have been purchased at auction by slaughterhouse
buyers who are trying to squeeze one last nickel out of
them by renting them out to weekend Charro rodeos.

The
terrified animals are lassoed and tripped repeatedly. Some
have been known to try to leap over arena walls in an attempt
to escape the torment. Horrendous injuries are common: broken
necks, broken limbs, deep lacerations, broken teeth.

Horse tripping has been banned in a number of states, including
California, Illinois, New Mexico, and Texas.

Animal
Sacrifice

In
Fresno, CA, a Hmong Immigrant beat a German Shepard puppy to death
to appease an evil spirit plaguing his wife.

In
Ringgold. VA, employees of a concrete company arrived at work
to find a headless rooster hanging from a tree, put there by a
disgruntled neighbor - a
voodoo practitioner who said that he had sacrificed the bird to
Shango, the god of enemies.

In
San Francisco, authorities seized more than a hundred animals,
many sick and starving, from a home where they were being kept
for use as sacrifices for practitioners of Santeria, a
religion that has spread rapidly in the U.S. among Latinos from
Central and South America.

Cockfighting

Cockfighting
is a blood sport in which two specially bred
birds, known as gamecocks, are placed in an enclosure to
fight, for the purposes of gambling and entertainment.

The
birds cannot escape the fight, no matter how exhausted or
injured they become. Severe injuries are common as the birds
legs are fitted with steel blades or gaffs designed to puncture
and mutilate.

Cockfights
usually result in the death of one
of the birds and sometimes both. Dying birds are tossed
in the trash along with the dead.

Cockfighting is illegal in almost every state but is
still widely practiced, frequently by immigrants who
attempt to defend the barbaric practice by claiming it as
part of their culture.

The
Animal Cruelty/Human Violence Connection

Albert
DeSalvo, the Boston Strangler who killed 13 women
started out by trapping dogs and cats in orange crates and shooting
them with arrows. Jeffrey Dahmer killed neighborhood pets and
impaled dogs heads on sticks. Ted Bundy mutilated animals
before killing dozens of women.

History
is replete with such examples.

The
connection between animal cruelty and human violence has been
well- established in the law enforcement and mental health communities.
The FBI uses reports of animal cruelty in analyzing the threat
potential of suspected and known criminals.

The
American Psychiatric Association considers animal cruelty one
of the diagnostic criteria of conduct disorder.

Not
every immigrant is an animal abuser, of course, but we should
be concerned about the many who demonstrate their indifference
to animal life almost as soon as they step foot over the border:

. . . [Arizona rancher] Kuykendall found her dog, a mastiff,
poisoned with strychnine. The animal suffered for five hours before
dying a horrible death, for the crime of barking.
One of Kuykendals neighbors found his dog dead, too, its
throat slashed. Another has had four dogs poisoned. (At
War on the Border, Leo W. Banks, Tucson Weekly )

A
Culture of Violence

Violent
crime is abhorrent to Americans as to most people everywhere.
Many Americans believe that mass immigration raises the level
of violence within our society, imposing this further penalty
that ordinary people most unwillingly pay.

Baltimore,
MD: Three young children are found murdered; one decapitated
and two partially beheaded. Two illegal immigrants who entered
the United States by walking across the Arizona desert are charged
with the grisly crime.

This
horrific crime is just one of many cases involving illegal immigrants
that has made the headlines across the country in recent years.

Of
course, not every illegal immigrant comes to this country to commit
violent crimes. That said, it cannot be denied that, through uncontrolled
mass immigration, we are importing a significant violent element.
It is a fact that more than 25% of all inmates in federal prisons
are foreign-born.

Greenwich,
CT: 13-year-old Christina Longs body is found face down
in a creek. She has been murdered, strangled to death by an illegal
Brazilian national.

Organ
Pipe Cactus National Monument, AZ: 28-year-old park
ranger Kris Eggle is shot and killed in the line of duty
while pursuing members of a drug cartel hit squad who fled
into the U.S. after committing murders in Mexico. His murderer
is sentenced to 15 years; two accomplices are not charged.

Bonita Springs, FL: An illegal alien from Honduras
is arrested and charged with six counts of sexual battery
with serious injuries after raping a 69 year- old woman
in
two separate incidents and being caught breaking into her
house a third time. The woman later dies from injuries sustained
during the assaults.

Klamath
Falls, Oregon: Missionary worker Sister Helen Chaska
is raped and murdered by being strangled with her rosary
beads  the beads are found imbedded in her neck. Her
accused murderer is Maximiliano Esparza, who is in the United
States illegally, and was convicted in 1988 of robbery and
kidnapping in Los Angeles.
Suffolk County, NY: Police and federal agents conduct
early morning raids and arrest 27 illegal aliens who are
convicted sex offenders. According to authorities, their
victims are between 6 and 12 years old.

Gangs
With Suspected Terrorist Connections Close in on Nations
Cities

We
know from El Salvadoran law enforcement that al Qaeda is meeting
with violent gang leaders in El Salvador. We have also had reports
that Middle Easterners have been sighted on the banks of the Rio
Grande. (Representative Solomon Ortiz, Texas, D-27th)

In March, the government announced the arrests of 103 alleged
members of the violent El Salvadoran gang Mara Salvatrucha
13 (MS-13), believed to have connections to al Qaeda.

All of those arrested were reportedly in the country illegally.

MS-13 - known for its extreme violence and penchant for using
machetes in vicious attacks - has established a major criminal
presence across the U.S., including right at the steps
of our nations capitol.

And residents in the suburbs of Washington D.C.,as elsewhere,
have good reason to be afraid.

Recently in Virginia, a16-year-old boy had both hands almost
completely severed in a MS-13 machete attack. In another
machete attack a man lost 3 fingers. In Maryland, a MS-13
gang member was convicted of beating a rival gang member to
death with a golf club.

Among the most notorious crimes attributed to MS-13 is the
gang rape of two deaf girls, one 14, the other 17,
in a Massachusetts park in 2002. Three MS- 13 gang members
were charged in the brutal rapes, during which one victim,
who also suffered from cerebral palsy, was knocked from her
wheelchair before the assault.

As we go to press, reports are that the MS-13 gang has threatened
violence against American volunteers taking part in the Minuteman
Project, which is mobilizing citizens to patrol the Arizona
border in April.

Uncontrolled mass immigration coupled with an unbridled tolerance
of and encouragement for multiculturalism, have brought this
kind of crime into our communities. And now, the Bush Administration
wants to reward and encourage illegal activity by granting
amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.

CCN
explored the close relationship between legal and illegal immigration
in our June 2004 Action Alert (The Legal/Illegal Immigration
Connection). History has shown that once established, legal
immigrants become a magnet for friends and family who want to
move to the U.S. but dont want to be bothered with waiting
for a green card. An amnesty could mean adding 50 or more million
immigrants to the number of immigrants already illegally here
in the country, given that the average Mexican has a family
of 4.

SOLUTION:
We must seriously defend our borders with increased patrols
fences and troops at the border. We must also enact a moratorium
on all legal immigration in excess of 100,000 per year.

1)
Call, write and fax your senators and representative today and
voice your concern about the violence we are importing into our
countrys communities.

Tell
them that you do not want the increase in illegal immigration
and crime that an "earned legalization," "guest
worker program" or other disguised amnesty for illegals will
bring about. Tell them that the solution to the illegal immigration
problem is strict enforcement of our laws against illegal
immigration and a moratorium on legal immigration.

Emphasize
that a moratorium on all immigration in excess of 100,000 per
year is essential to reducing illegal immigration and stabilizing
the U.S. population.

Advocacy
for a moratorium on legal immigration creates leverage that allows
other good bills to pass and is a solid, consistent defense against
the bad immigration bills that are routinely floated  for
example, versions of amnesty for illegal aliens.

You
can reach your senators and representative by calling the Congressional
switchboard at (202)224-3121 or by writing:
